MEXICO. MAXIMILIEN (1832-1867) Emperor of Mexico. L.S. with autograph compliment, Cuernavaca May 18, 1866, to Count Resseguier; 4pages in-4, engraved vignette with his coat of arms (traces of tabs); in German. The idea of acting in future on the press by means of telegrams seems to him to be a very happy one, and he promises himself a result from this new mode of action. He also thinks it would be a good idea to have a permanent agent in Washington. By these means, and by energetic joint action, we should succeed in rendering Romeros' action harmless... Graham's choice is excellent and has his full confidence: he writes intelligent, lucid and dispassionate reports, and has the talent of not getting involved in any foreign affairs... As for the actions of M. and his creature B., he has known about them for a long time. Complaints have come from all sides, and these two tactless and dangerous individuals must be watched. He approves of the very intelligent measure taken in the Tehuantepec affair...
